Just a thought

You know as kids we all imagined that our toys came to life in the night, when we couldn't see them and had a life of their own. Especially if you read a lot of Enid Blyton, with tales of golliwogs and naughty dolls.

Well the other night lying in bed reading a particularly favorite author I thought how cool would it be if the characters in a book did the same. Imagine them all coming alive inside the book and living out the words. And how fabulous if we could get a chance to slip into the books as an onlooker or an extra in a movie set.

It really would be a dream come true - that's why I love dreams so much - because these things do happen in dreams especially if you have weird dream like me

PS: The book I was reading was 'Bloodsucking Fiends' by Christopher Moore

When my kids were little, bedtime stories were of two little boys (Franky and Freddy) that we (I) made up. One of the things that Franky and Freddy could do was that they could go into Aaron's baseball cards, the kids television shows or the videos that they watched.

The kids could interact with characters through their imaginary friends. I don't think that we ever "went into" their books, but that would be fun too!

i remember when i used to read regularly... i miss it, but have so little time... but what you describe, wishing the characters could come to life - or that i could step into the story... while i suspend reality, i keep the condition that it i non-lethal (or that death is not the end, but just a reset of the story) cuz life is threatening enough and i want my 'stories' to be more fun than life...

Ah...this post reminds me of what I want...the kind of room that they have in Star Trek...in that room you can be the characters in a movie. I remember in that episode, one of the crew in Star Trek became Sherlock Holmes. :-D

My Blog: An Introduction

After seeing a lot of blogs I pondered over what made them fun. I came to the conclusion that all the ones I liked were the ones in which the authors were sharing their everyday life. As I am given to philosophical ramblings on a daily basis that will be part of my blog. But since we can't be answering life's penultimate questions 24/7 the rest I'll devote to my interests. It will be a smörgåsbord that will truly reflect the disturbed mess my brain is. You'll go from one extreme in which you'll find me wrestling with the enormity of life's various puzzles, to the other where you will learn how to set up a room to attract success through Feng Shui.Anyway reader.... welcome to my randomness and my blog
